Secular Humanists Make The Newspaper

The Secular Humanists of Western Lake Erie had a nice write up in the religion section of the Toledo Blade. The print version took up nearly half a page and was above the fold. We could never afford advertising that good.

To question whether morals and values can exist apart from theology cuts to the heart of secular humanism. While atheism simply denotes that an individual does not believe in God, secular humanism “kind of takes that a step further,” Ms. Meagley said; it answers the “now what” question that, for some, follows when a person comes to terms with a disbelief in God.

Secular humanism’s affirmation of an ethical life suggests parallels between the ways that a conscientious religious adherent and a conscientious humanist would live. But a humanist, significantly, would do so without tying these views and values to theism or the supernatural.

November2018

In this edition of our Sunday Salon, we will start by discussing all aspects of the election that will happen on November 6th. Bring your questions, comments, and concerns about the issues on the ballot.

This event isn't about winning or losing but is about maybe drawing some conclusions or finding solutions you might not have thought about.

Monette has organized a secular lobby day, The Secular Summit, in Columbus, since 2013, and planned and run successful workshop tracks at Skepticon. She is a co-founder of Akron Women in Tech, and a founder of Secular Women Work. She is currently the president of Secular Woman.

Ms. Richards' parents' own distancing from their religious upbringing contributed to her lifelong atheism. The most recent and blatant encroachment of religious ideology into women's civil rights has forced her into activism, starting with the tweeting, filming and livestreaming of the UniteWomen Ohio event in April 2012. Attending CFI's Women in Secularism conference that same year motivated her to get involved even more.
